Why This Blog Site

As a young Caribbean woman, I see everyday that our society is not educated on many artists from the different genres of soca, caylpso , dancehall reggae and hip pop which all represent true Caribbean Indentity. Many may indentify with such genres such as soca and caylpso cause of its vibrant and pulsating rhythm .Whereas internationally Caribbean people are often identified by dance hall music and reggae because of the great impact men such as Bob Marley left behind. My aim for this blog site is to educate the masses about the different genres that are taking over the Caribbean and for us to critically analyze their contributions to society on a whole . My personal favorite is that of soca music because I believe that soca music has a rich Caribbean history stemming from times of slavery and its is evident that only now soca music is getting international recognition .This is the genre that is known for creating the most Caribbean pride amongst persons especially around the Carnival season like Labour Day , Caribana and so forth . There are many aspiring artists who often do not get the exposure they need to go the distance in the industry. I intended on educating you about those artists whose little contributions make us all true lovers for the different genres ! So ensure you keep posted cause we are all going on a Musical journey ...
